Today I am thankful for the community that God has put in my life. I love that I have community with people that I gather with on a weekly basis, but also with people that I gathered with on a weekly basis 10 years ago. 10 years ago I began watching kids for community groups at The Stone. I sat in a room or played in backyards for a couple of hours a week while parents gathered to grow deeper in their knowledge of Christ. I saw the community play out in front of my eyes and was so blessed by serving them. Fast forward 10 years later. Not only am I in community with a new group of believers with kids who play while we grow deeper in our knowledge of Christ, but thanks to adoption, my kids get to be in community with those kids I hung out with. I am thankful for that. I am thankful that Kristina is in community with a girl who I spent at least a day a week with for 2 years. I am thankful that Christian can go to the house of the boys I watched each week and play football or basketball with them. That I have community with people that are rivals on the football field (gasp!) but we sit and watch football together on Saturday and then sit together on Sunday morning.
Today I watched Hadley be loved on by Kristina and Christian and their "Austin cousins". I snapped a picture of that scene. It blessed my heart so much.
I am thankful for community.
